Alec Benjamin Is Chained To A Fishbowl In 'Mind Is A Prison'

Alec Benjamin is trapped without way out in his new video for "Mind Is A Prison." The singer released the Falsetto-heavy tune today (December 23) to extrapolate some emotions from you ahead of Christmas. He succeeds with the claustrophobic feeling of the visual, making you feel as if there's truly no escape from what he's going through. It earns its creative points, that's for sure.





"Mind Is A Prison" makes the mind of a fishbowl. Benjamin, a young chap who'd like to free himself from these small four walls and think better thoughts, just can't seem to get away. His arm is chained to the bottom of the bowl and alternatively opposed to panicking and trying to get away, he realizes that resistance is futile so he sits, sadly, as his skin slowly prunes. "Guess my mind is a prison and I'm never going to get out" he sings solemnly, putting you into your feels. The emotional tune centers you in his experience all of the way. For Christmas, you hope that he's able to relax a bit.


Earlier this year, Benjamin released "Must Have Been The Wind" and "Jesus In LA." There's no word of once his debut studio album will drop, although, with this year's bevy of singles, it looks like we'll have some news in the near future.
